The mainstream media has started to pay attention to TikTok where thousands of readers gather every day to share their favorite books.
TikTok readers created the BookTok hashtag for these conversations, inspiring more young creators to share video reactions to stories. In fact, the hashtag has been viewed more than 23 billion times on TikTok!
NBC News explained how the algorithms behind TikTok drive discovery, delivering personalized selections of videos about books:
“TikTok shows users videos on their uniquely curated For You pages by considering what videos they have engaged with in the past, weighing factors like hashtags and songs featured in each video."
